Link industrial equipment with multiple computers to expand your data network. Use these switches with ix industrial connectors and cords. Mount them onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail alongside PLCs, relays, and power supplies—they snap in place and stay secure. Ethernet switches connect computers, sensors, and other devices to the same network, so they can talk to each other, access the Internet, and provide you with real-time diagnostics. These switches do not require setup—just plug in a device and it will be connected to your network. They are backward compatible, so they'll work in networks below their rated transmission speed. For example, a 100 Mbps switch will work in a 10 Mbps network, but it will only run at 10 Mbps.

Securely connect equipment in data or signal applications, such as linking a servomotor and encoder. Because they have smaller connectors than standard cords, you can connect them to smaller equipment and snake them through tighter spaces. You can even use them to create multiple connection points in a compact area. These cords have a metal locking tab that secures the connectors to sockets and is less likely to break than plastic ones if yanked or bumped. All of these cords are shielded to block interference from nearby equipment. They will connect with any ix industrial sockets that meet IEC 61076-3-124. They also meet UL data transmission standards and Canadian electrical standards. You can also use them as an alternative to cords with D-sub connectors.
